Complete the following questions:

What factors contribute to malnutrition in both developing countries and developed countries? Answer: The causes of malnutrition are diverse in developed and developing countries. The factors are determined by the availability of food, types of food and demographical influences. In developing countries, the main reason is unavailability of food. On the other hand, the reason for malnutrition in developed countries is high calorie diet lacking in essential vitamins and minerals. Obesity and overweight are also forms of malnutrition (Mandal).

What foods might be economically introduced to these diets to help address the problem?

The significant loss of blood calcium commonly characterizes the condition of hypocalcemia. In particular, the loss of calcium is common in the extracellular fluid, and it occurs in greater quantities though it is replaceable by the intestine or the bone (Watad et al., 2016). The condition is a consequence of various clinical entities with the signs and symptoms of neuromuscular irritability. The common conditions of the neuromuscular irritability include the paresthesia, laryngospasm, muscle cramps, seizures as well as tetany. The same instability of the neuromuscular structures appears in the elicitation of the Chvostek’s signs and the common Trousseau’ ...

Public schools offer ideal settings for the dissemination of interventions designed to promote physical activity and life-long healthy eating. As such, schools are the only settings where the majority of children can access the opportunity of consuming healthful meals regularly, being physically active through extracurricular activities, and receiving education on healthy living. Nonetheless, many interventions have been ineffective because they often fail to incorporate environmental factors and system-wide policies that influence the ability of schools, families, and children to alter behavior (Coleman et al., 2012). Although recent investigations have made attempts to address the shortcoming, they have yielded mixed ...

Abstract

Herbivores exclusively feed on plants while carnivores feed on meat. These food preferences mean that there are differences in the oral cavities, the stomach, the small intestines and the entire digestive tract mechanisms of the two types of animals. While carnivores such as lions have short digestive tracts with stronger and more acidic digestive juices because meat is easier to digest, herbivores such as zebras have long digestive tracts that are alkaline to increase the rate of digestion and absorption of plant materials. The basic difference between carnivores and herbivores is that they exclusively feed on meat and plants ...

Introduction Cirrhosis is caused by liver injury that results in fibrogenesis and inflammation. These problems result in collapse of liver structures and significant distortion of hepatic vascular structure. This distortion leads to elevated resistance to portal blood flow as well as portal hypertension. Moreover, hepatic synthetic dysfunction is also caused as a result of these problems. Clinically, liver cirrhosis is considered as an end-stage disease that could result in death until liver transplantation is performed (Tsochatzis, Bosch, & Burroughs, 2014). Liver cirrhosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in most of the developed countries. In ...

Human nutrition is associated with good health and well-being. Humans derive nutrients from food products such as fruits, vegetables, milk, and animal-based products. Nutrients should be taken in adequate quantities for proper functioning of the body. Diet provides vitamins, minerals, and all other vital components required for healthy living. Diet is one part of a healthy body while physical activity enhances growth, development, and stability to the body. People who have low nutrient intake are vulnerable to diseases and illnesses. Poor nutrition has also been associated with impaired physical and mental development (Kau, et al. 2011). Nutrition is the ...

Vitamins can be defined as those organic compound and nutrients that are required by humans for normal cellular function. However, humans are not able to synthesize vitamins in the prerequisite amounts which is why vitamins need to be obtained from diet (food and other food products). The normal functioning of humans is associated with adequate amount of normal functioning. Vitamins have a host of biochemical functions. For example, Vitamin D plays a key role in cellular growth/differentiation, regulation of minerals, and differentiation of some forms of vitamin A. Vitamins are the backbone of human nutrition and required during all ...

Minerals are natural inorganic substances that are found in rocks and soil and are considered essential components for human survival. Minerals compose an estimate 4% of the body and are necessary for normal functioning of the body. Humans are incapable of producing minerals which is why it is necessary to obtain minerals from plant and meat sources. Soil contains nearly 45% of minerals, wherein plants absorb all natural minerals which is absorbed in the human body upon consumption (Ward 2014). 18 minerals are considered essential out of the total 103 known minerals. Some of the major function so minerals ...

Turner’s syndrome is a genetic disorder which mainly affects female growth and development. It is also termed as gonadal dysgenesis which occurs because of the absence of sex chromosome (X). The absence of the X chromosome causes abnormal development in human females. Instead of having a pair of 46 normal XX chromosomes, females with gonadal dysgenesis develop 45,X chromosomes (Castiglia, 1997). This odd combination of chromosomal pairing results in a conflicted sex of the person, where they are neither distinguished as male or female, due to the absence of the second X chromosome that would establish them ...

Vitamin K

The body requires vitamin K as it plays a crucial role in the blood clotting process. Sources of this vitamin may be from food eaten and in some bacteria found in the intestines of human beings (CDC, 2016; a). New born babies need to be provided with the vitamin K medication at birth since, first of all they have got little of it stored in their systems as only a little amount can pass through the placenta, secondly, the bacteria responsible for manufacturing them cannot be found in their intestines and finally, the vitamin K contents found in breast ...

One of the best ways to know whether a certain food is high or low in a particular nutrient is to make the best use of Daily Value. Low does not necessary imply bad while high does not necessarily imply good. That is why it is important to know which nutrients are needed most and which nutrients are least needed in a particular serving. 5 and 20 Rule has been found to be the best rule of thumb (Abrams and Hawthorne, 2012). The terms “low” and “high” in the context of nutrients need to be well understood. The Daily ...

Briefly discuss the absorption process and sites of biotin, folate. cobalamin, and ascorbic acid

In essence, human beings cannot synthesize biotin, and therefore the vitamin is required in water soluble form to perform the normal cellular function. The absorption process of biotin takes place in the small and large intestines (Said, 2011). The process involves the Na+ carrier that transports the vitamin in human beings. The sodium-dependent transports, also written as hSMVT is expressed in the apical membrane of the enterocytes. Folates exist as polyglutamate in the diet, which enables them to be converted to mono glutamates through an enzymatic process. The absorption process of the vitamin takes place in the intestines with ...

Eutrophication is the phenomenon caused by the increasing amount of nutrients in the water bodies which results to the decrease in the oxygen concentration and death of aquatic animals. The main nutrient which commonly caused eutrophication in some of the water bodies is the phosphates. In this process, nutrients from soil are carried to the water bodies through erosion (Chislock et al., 2013). The high amounts of nutrients in the water bodies results to the increase in aquatic plants and algae such as the phytoplankton. The decay of these plants and algae converts oxygen to other by-products resulting to ...

Pollution from agricultural runoff has brought great danger to both human beings and the organisms that live in water. Various chemicals used in crop production are dragged into water sources, poisoning the water (Kennen & Kirkwood, 2015). This poses a danger to the existence of living organisms. Consumption of contaminated water by humans leads to waterborne diseases such as cryptosporidiosis which causes diarrhea, vomiting, fever, weight loss, and stomach cramps (Lichtfouse, 2009). The essay below describes significant ways in which this form of pollution can be prevented. First, fencing of livestock grazing areas at about 100 meters from water sources ...

Application– Chronic Kidney Disease

(Author, Department, University,

Chronic Kidney Disease Chronic kidney disease is related to a decrease in kidney function or damage to the kidney function for a minimum of 3 months. Actually, it is an ongoing process in which nephrons’ functioning decrease, glomeruli are destroyed, and glomerular stress is increased as a result of more work by surviving glomeruli to increase glomerular filtration rate (GFR); thereby, resulting in predictable steady decline of the function of kidneys (Buttaro, 2013). Chronic kidney disease is usually difficult to detect or grasp, and symptoms may not appear with a GFR more than 35%. However, when ...

The critical importance of protein in nutrition and life of the human body was discovered by chemists in the early 19th century, they also came up with "international" name for these chemical compounds - "proteins", from the Greek protos - "first, chief".

Drug metabolism is the enzymatic break down of drugs-a process that takes place in the liver. While drug metabolism can take place at the cellular level, the liver is the major site for this process due to its size-translating to a big supply of enzymes. Drug metabolism is classified as one of the liver’s processes to detoxify the body or get rid of foreign compounds (Law et al., 2014). When the drug reaches the target site and finished working, the remaining amounts may accumulate in the body to levels that may be poisonous or toxic. Drug components are ...

Bacteria refer to the regnum of prokaryotes (Sundararaj, Mudaliar, Anthoniraj, Kannan, Muthukaruppan). For the current moment, it accounts for more than ten thousand kinds of bacteria. The bacterium is recognized as one of the most ancient of living organisms, arising about 3.9 – 3.5 billion years ago. Bacteria have the substantial variation in the ways of metamorphic and energetic metabolism. Thus, autotrophs can synthesize all necessary organic molecules from non-organic compounds, whereas heterotrophs demand active organic compounds to transform them. The biggest degree of heterotrophs belongs to intracellular parasites. They are called saprophytes (Sundararaj, Mudaliar, Anthoniraj, Kannan, Muthukaruppan) and can ...
